I installed Carbon EMACS tody but I have a problem with the shift key: I can't select region hoding down shift and moving with harrows. Do you have any suggestion?
Best Riccardo
A:
Check C-h v shift-select-mode RET.
If that's okay, then check the C-h k (shift + arrow) keys to see whether they are bound to something other than the forward/backward char and next/previous line movement commands.

If emacs doesn't recognise `shift-select-mode` as a variable, then that would explain why this doesn't work for you. The feature was introduced in GNU Emacs 23.1. You can use `M-x version` to find out which version of Emacs you are running. It sounds like you might want to follow Steve Lianoglou's suggestion above to get a more up-to-date Emacs.

The version is the GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2010-01-10 on gs674-seijiz.local. And sò I can't use shift to select region.... Is there a way to resolve the problem??

Karthik's answer sounds like it will help with your current version. I'd still recommend you upgrade if you're able. As Steve pointed out, emacsformacosx.com provides a current build of standard GNU Emacs.
